erik Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 This is my first post. I've used Paint.net for several months at a begginners level. My understanding is at a very elementary level. I can select the pixels I want to rotate (with the rectrangular select tool, or with the lasso select tool) I can rotate the selected pixels (hold down the right click key and move the mouse). But I am totally flummoxed trying to figure out how to "fix" the rotated pixels in place. Do I left click? Right click? Double click? Hit the enter key? (I've tried them all - obviously I'm missing something simple). Thanks to anyone who can help. Erik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarkut Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Pressing Ctrl D will deselect, if that's what you mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erik Posted November 26, 2009 Author Share Posted November 26, 2009 It appears Ctrl D causes the operation to be aborted. What I'm trying to do is move the object, get it just in the right place, and the click something to make it permanent. In other words - how do I complete the "Move" operation? Or - what is the last step in moving a selection? Thanks. Erik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briamoth Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Try clicking in the gray area beside of the picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarkut Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 (edited) Are you moving the object (pixels)? Or moving the selection? Edited April 8, 2010 by Sarkut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erik Posted November 26, 2009 Author Share Posted November 26, 2009 Yes - thank you for being patient with me. I totally screwed up (even as I thought carefully about the distinction) between moving the selection and moving selected pixels. I am guilty. I shall forever be embarrased. But I still like paint.net - even as a rank beginner. Erik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarkut Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 (edited) No worries. Everyone starts as a beginner. Edited April 8, 2010 by Sarkut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
